SCORED THE OLD PARTIES Sensational Speech Made "by Schuylkill Legislator. On the Floor of the House of Representatives He Pre dicts a Mighty Uprising of Labor in This State. "I want to say to Senators Quay and Penrose, and the machine leaders of the Republican party, that we have almost come to the parting of the ways. The laboring classes of this state have been fooled for many years. The Republi can party has promised to do this, and the Democratic party has promised to do that. Both have lied, and liud in their hearts, when they said it." Representative Alfred B. Garner, Re publican, of Schuylkill county, speak ing, as he said, in behalf of the organ ized miners of the state, made the above declaration on the floor of the house of representatives yesterday afternoon. Garner was urging the house to as sume a retaliatory attitude toward the senate for its refusal to act on the eight hour bill and several other miners' measures that have been approved by the house. The bill under consideration was the senate measure permitting railroads to purchase connecting lines. Garner did not intimate that he had any opposition to the bill in itself, but attacked if on the ground that it was a senate bill and a corporation bill, and, therefore, as he looked at it, a legitimate object to as sault. "The labor representatives," Garner continued, "had a hearing before the senate committee on mines and mining yesterday. We were blarneyed and smoothed down the back until we were almost assured that the members of that committee were angels. But the same old gold bricks were handed out as liborally as boforo. "I want to say that the United Mine Workers of America and the American Federation of Labor are about to estab lish a graveyard that will eclipse the labor bill graveyard of the senate. That elephant—labor—that knows not Its own strength, is about to awaken, and when it does, it will be God help the two old rotten parties." District Board's Decision. Interest in the awards made by the Coal Strike Commission is abating and mine workers are now turning their attention to the coal companies, to see that the recommendations and provi sions are carried out in the manner and spirit intended by the commission ers. At a meeting of the executive board of District No. 7, U. M. W. of A., yesterday, the oilicers stated emphati cally that they would not permit the members to countenance any evasion of the arbitrators' decision by the coal companies, even when such evasion maKes a chef •m# efacooK B (better than flour) J iresto FREELAND, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1903. might mean increased pay for some employes. This decision was made In answer to reports that efforts are being made to have the steam employes of some com panies to continue working under the old system and to pay them additional for overtime. Coxe Bros. & Co., it is said, are hurry ing arrangements to comply In every proper manner with the new schedule of hours and wages. It is also reported that this company will pay the amounts of the accrued increase in wages, from November 1 to March 31, on April 14. Killed in the Mines. Adam Matzek, aged 39 years, was so badly injured in an explosion in Sandy Run mine that he died shortly after being removed to his home in that town. He is survived by a wife and three children. The dead man and his labor er had fired four holes, and thinking all had gone off Matzek started up the breast. Ho arrived at the face just as the last charge exploded and was caught under the fall. When his body was un covered it was found that he was fatally injured. Ho died shortly after being taken home. The deceased was a prominent mem ber of St. Joseph's Beneficial Society, of Freeland, and the members attended the funeral this morning. A requiem mass was read at St. John's Slavonian Catholic church and interment was made at St. Ann's cemetery. Famous Fighters Coming.

The contract for tho engagement has not yet beeu signed, as the combination requires an extra ordinary largo guarantee wherever it appears. If the negotiations to bring these world-champions to town are successful, the sporting people of tho vicinity, as well as those who enjoy clean and high class vaudeville, will be given a treat that is seldom offered to towns the size of Freeland.
